Director dealings: There was a wise lady called Limerick

The wife of Roxi Petroleum director Edmund Limerick splashed out and gained from an uptick.

Limerick's wife spent £50,350-worth at a price of 9.5p per share to take her and her husband's holding to 2.235m.

Mrs Limerick made the purchase on Wednesday, the day after the oil and gas company had put out a drilling report on the BNG Contract Area in the west of Kazakhstan.

Drilling at the oil block, where Roxi has a 58.41% interest gave further indications of the potential high value of the structure.

But it was not until Wednesday when they hit a two-month low of 8.525p that the shares began to kick higher, rising to 10.05p by close on Thursday to put the latest Limerick purchase quickly in the money.
